Happened about 3% of the rounds. I thought this was due to light powder charges, but the engineer I spoke to at Federal said they see this happen when their crimping operation gets off-spec. Apparently 22LR ammo needs a heavy, consistent crimp in order to get good ignition.

They sent me a check for all the bricks I had purchased and sent UPS around to pick up what I had left. I've since switched to using CCI SV and haven't had a problem since then.
I wish everyone would quit switching to CCI SV, I can't find any locally for my own use. For the price CCI SV is great ammo.
